To my conservative friends reading this -- just know this, our supreme court works the way it does for a reason. If there were serious issues with one side or the other, then we would know about it. Each justice's voting record is publicly available, and it's more even spread than you'd think. The cases they decide are literally there for a reason, because it was too complicated for other judges.
@christophercollins2134 3 жыл бұрын
The SC is the final and highest appeals court. The cases they choose to review have already had verdicts rendered (unless it is under the SC's exclusive jurisdiction, which is seldom the case). The lower courts do not pass up their verdicts because cases are too complicated. Regardless, the SC usurped the power of judicial review and with that authority the court can and does legislate laws. That coupled with justices, like Ginsberg, who believe they have free reign to interpret the Constitution as what they believe it ought to mean is what "conservatives" have beef with.

The founders specifically set up the amendment process so that the constitution could evolve with the time, the intention was not to bypass that process in the name of judicial activism. This judicial philosophy sounds great to the ear, but ignores the separation of powers that were specifically established so that the Supreme Court (unelected appointees) couldn't just come in and change the law however their political views saw fit. The supreme court is not a political entity, and is not meant to be influenced by popular opinion. Its job is to objectively apply the law as the legislature who wrote it intended. Also, to say that just because no state allowed for women to vote at the time, the 14th amendment must have have not been meant to included women is simply false, and as a Supreme Court justice, surly RBG she knew that. The US constitution wasn't even first applied to state governments until 1925, and until then it was only seen to control the actions of the federal government, not the states. The 14th amendment very Cleary was meant to include all citizens, including women, and to interpret it as such is not a violation of originalism at all.

This is why SCOTUS Justices need to have an 18 year term limit with staggered ends dates. This way two justices end their term every 4yr presidential term. If a Justice dies or steps down then the sitting president fills the vacancy for the remainder of that justices term. This will depoliticize the SCOTUS and will end the trend of getting young justices just so they stay there for as long as possible. In the past justices would retire after a good number of years, this is no longer the case.

Respectfully, Justice Ginsberg comments do not address the issue of how a more perfect union is formed. The Constitution is not a religous document, it is written law. It is not a "living document". Her consitutional method of interpretation (actually its no method) is simply that the constitution means whatever 5 Justices of the Supreme Court claim it means. Hence, her view is simply a power maximazation strategy for the Supreme Court. Of course it is exactly that view that has turned the Supreme Court into a political institution, rather than a judicial one. This is why SCOTUS nominations have turned into the biggest political battle this country goes through. BTW, she mentions women's and minority rights as not being upheld when the constutuion was written. This is true. Those rights have been instituted by amendment of the constittuion. Equal Protection and woman's sufferage were obtained by amending the constitution, not by fiat of the Supreme Court

It takes two to tango. The president can nominate someone up until the day before his inauguration. That conforms with RBG's comment in 2016. But it's the Senate that decides whether to take up the nomination and render an opinion on his/her suitability for the Court. McConnell decided to make up his own rules, then he gave it a catchy name that suggested it wasn't his doing ("the Biden Rule"). Now we see that McConnell's rules as malleable when it benefits the long-term control of the Court by his party. RBG's dying public statement is directed to the Senate, in the hope that they will delay confirming a nominee until the next term. But it's nice that the GOP is busily labeling the dead justice as a hypocrite as they transparently perform in kind.

RBG, your legacy will live on in the history of this great country. Thank you for fighting for what was righteous, and for breaking barriers so that women like me can walk through them unhindered. You will be missed beyond belief, but the "Notorious RBG" will live on, inspiring new generations to fight for what is right. Thank you Justice Ginsburg, for everything.

There is only one way to "interpret" the Constitution. “On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or intended against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” Thomas Jefferson The Constitution is in essence a contract between the states, that contract once ratified brought the Federal government into existence. It is as the parties (the States) understood it to mean at the time they ratified, not what some politically connected Lawyer in a black robe says it means. How many of you would want your employer to alter or re-interpret your employment contract as something different than what it was understood to be at the time you signed?

Well I mean if your contract with your employer is 200 years old and was made with the intent of the contract being adjustable over time then yes. Also she didn't say anything about "re interpreting" the constitution, (whatever that means) She just said that we need to read the constitution in a way that accounts for the modern era

“Frankly,” said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2009, “I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” She was speaking to the New York Times Magazine in an article on women on the court. Readers understood that those “populations” included racial minorities.

At 1:20 she finally gets to it: This is straight out of Hegel's theory on Historicism. She was a Prog who sought to undermine the Constitution in classic Prog fashion-by unbolting it from its foundation and allowing it to float on contemporary context. It's the idea that "history" is bringing us to the place we are now. And so a contemporary interpretation is better than an originalist. Except the Founders were dealing with timeless "Natural Law" not shifting whims of historical interpretation. Note how Frederick Douglass didn’t need to do this (yet she regards him as NOT part of “We the People!”). He felt slavery could be abolished if we just follow the timeless words of the Constitution pre-13th Amendment! He interpreted the Constitution better than she did!

The role of the supreme court is to determine if that which is before the court abides, violates or is outside the boundary of the Constitution - a document which is constructed to be taken literally in a simple and straight forward manner on behalf and to the benefit of it's citizens. Interpretation assumes a lack of objective clarity. But I know what you mean, right?

Yes....so in order to form a more perfect union, there is an amendment process. And by that process many of the questionable, even despicable, things Ginsberg would argue for have fortunately NOT been supported by any amendment. Discuss with her consensual sex with minors, abortion (including late term and even post-term execution) and most would differ with Ginsberg considerably. I do not mourn her departure from the Court.

@@tejbirsingh5661 RIght. The left wants to centralize power in the federal government because they want to assert their will over others. Then they freak out when all that power ends up with the other team. The founders understood the danger of centralization of power and created the constitution to ensure power was decentralized. However, the constitution has largely failed in that mission.

She speaks beautifully about how the phrase "We The People" has expanded over time to include more and more groups of people, groups that were previously discriminated against and powerless. Like Women. Like Blacks. Like American Indians. What is SAD is that RBG did not apply that liberal, big tent view to include UNBORN HUMANS.

Otherwise, he'd already outlived his usefulness and do most Republicans actually cared for him that much to give him a 2nd term if the Supreme Court is already in their favors?

See the interpretations jump back and forth...if you are a person and a citizen the law applies to you. Hairsplitting is the laws "get out of jail free" card. Its when they realize that that very general statement includes everyone that can fit into the description, lol. How can the Constitution survive if we keep ASSUMING who/what the authors are talking about? The Constitution is written in a general way so that it can grow with the country. Like the term "men" of which woMEN are included naturally, ie "MANkind" which if stated we understand includes all human beings. No one would come back and say "were they talking about women and blacks"?? Thats how they interpret the law and as we can see it has caused some of the worse problems in society.
